This course is designed for anyone who works within the EOD sector, but it especially caters for Medics and First Aiders on demining sites and remote locations. The Medicine in Remote Areas Course (MIRA Extended) has been developed to provide students with the specific skills and knowledge to be able to deal with casualties where there is an increased risk of blast injuries. This could be in the demining sector, explosive ordnance disposal or even terrorism. The course encompasses immediate stabilisation of the injured or acutely ill patient and provides the underpinning knowledge and skills required to provide prolonged field care in remote and challenging environments if necessary. The course also promotes for knowledge to be passed on to the rest of your team as part of the self-help phase of medical evacuation. Every team member should have at least a basic understanding of first aid even if it is not his job role specifically as he may still be asked to assist if the medical team is dealing with other casualties or indeed incapacitated themselves.
